Karlsen Wins C.A.T. Ski Time Trial at XCHQ
Tue, Jun 19, 2007 - By Bob Frye
Cross Country Ski Headquarters Team Training day started at the Grayling High School parking lot where 14 members of the team went roller skiing, nordic ski walking and mountain biking for close to 3 hours on the paved trail to Hartwick Pines.
After a cool down dip in Higgins Lake and barbeque lunch, the first ever, team Classic All Terrain Ski (C.A.T. ski) time trials took place. In a field of 9 racers, advancing through the preliminaries, semi finals and finally to win it all, was Steve (Bjorn) Karlsen from Saginaw (Oslo) Michigan!
Congratulations Steve! The team is getting ready for the C.A.T. Ski World Cup Qualifier Race to be held at Cross Country Ski Headquarters On Sunday Sept 2.
The team is very lucky to have 5 pair of C.A.T. skis on loan from Dale Nigman the inventor of the C.A.T Ski.
